Chainsaw Repair

I have a 410 on the project waiting list. In excellent shape except for the 25 year old gas/goop that's in the fuel tank. How do these things actually run? Kind of wondering if I'm going to want to mess with this saw.

I got mine not running, so I cannot say.  It is in need of a carb kit, but weak on compression.  I decided to just go through it all the way.  There is another 410 coming here from up your way.  The thing is 70cc's, so it has some potential.  The piston is thin-ring.  Goofy carb and spark plug setup on it, but workable in any case.  If yours had a bad ignition, you're pretty well hosed.  They are out there, but only used on two saws that I know of.  Fortunately, 410 parts on Ebay are not too crazy (yet.)  Lets keep this under our hats.

mweba had some vids on another site recently of his 410.  Seems to run pretty well.

Mine is just in too nice condition to not get it going, so I'll give it a go at some point. Top end is in fine shape. It doesn't look like it's that hard to work on, it's just that the layout is kind of strange. First time I took the top cover off, I was thinking, "So, where's the carb?"
